Dram Review: The GlenDronach Single Cask Aged 21 Years (Cask No. 475)

Prunes and blackcurrants, coal smoke, tobacco and tar with dark chocolate running along, drawing out some earthy and woody notes as a wee nutty note also enters the background.

Palate & Finish:

Dried blueberries and sticky toffee, sweet oily mouthfeel followed by the oak led leather, together with sprinkles of ginger and nutmeg. The mid-palate coveys some almond chewiness that grows a tad bitter.

Long, lasting, chocolate, coffee beans, fares oaky.

Thoughts:

For me, this is a familiar GDSC that would make one smile, I find the darker and earthier profile quite attractive but I suppose this may come across as a bit rough for some..
